"It's Voldemort Outside" to the tune of "Baby It's Cold Outside" by Frank LoesserBold = Ginny Weasley;Italics = Harry PotterYou really must stay But Voldemort’s outsideYou can’t go awayBut Voldemort’s outsideThis evening has beenI have to go fight himJust like a dream Yes—wait, did you just hear that scream?We’ve got some cushions here by the fireIt is a really wonderful fireThis comfy Kneazle rug on the floorDestiny is oh such a choreThe situation can’t be that direSo warm with you by the fireCome on just a butterbeer more I can put off the Dark Lord

I won’t let you goBaby, it’s bad out thereI’ll cast “Imperio” Death Eaters are mad out thereI wish I knew how Voldemort on the prowlTo keep you safe He looks like that one actor RalphI want to tell you not to fightI promise you that I’ll be all rightBut I know it’s up to you to decide It’s more than just a matter of pride(Both:) I wish you/I could stayAnd yet Voldemort’s outside

Then I’m going tooGinny, I fight alone I’ll fight him with youOh please don’t take that toneWho knows when you’ll need Do I have to pleadThe Bat-Bogey Curse?Sweetie, you’re just making it worseBubotuber pus—just a squirt! Imagine how I'd feel if you’re hurtOne of Fred and George’s Dungbombs! This is not making me calmAnd then when he’s really burnt (Spoken:) He’ll be furiousI’ll shout, “Remember me, little Tom?” Oh no she looks just like her mom

So we need to run It’s Voldemort outsideMy sweet Chosen One Yes, the Dark Lord outsideWe’ll stop to get Ron He’s coming too?And HermioneShe'll bring Hogwarts: A HistoryWho knows if we’ll see tomorrow And maybe then all that sorrowAt least they’re gonna say that we tried I’d like to have you by my side(Both:) I love you and so,Let’s fight Voldemort outside!

This makes me laugh. (And i hope the book contains something similar, but less, erm, awful.) I got your Christmas card today. Thank you! I only have 13 Christmas cards so far this year. Apparently my whole family has been just as negligent as i have in the Christmas card department. Maybe New Years. . .
